New year, same old me. My family and I are rewatching Desperate Housewives and I’m honestly so happy. This show has been a part of my life for so many years, and this refresher was just much needed. It will probably take us 6 months to watch it all and I cannot wait for these Wednesday and Sunday evenings. Back when it was still on air, my favourite characters were Lynette, Bree, Edie, Katherine, and Andie. We’ve only rewatched season 1 so far, but I seem to like Bree more than Lynette now? It’s been 9 years, which is more than enough perspective and even though my goals haven’t really changed, I have learned a lot about myself in those 9 years, I now know what I want from life, and I know what makes me happy. I’m also healthier, and as a result, happier, which is the most important thing in the world.

Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist 1.01

Gilmore Girls’s Lauren Graham and Suburgatory’s Jane Levy are back on my TV in this musical comedy. Lauren’s character’s name is Joan and action takes place in my favourite city,  San Francisco, so I’m sold. Lauren and Jane work at a start up and Jane is hoping Lauren’s character promotes her to a managerial role. One of the characters is going through a rough patch, and sings ‘Mad World’. The main character’s dad had a stroke and cannot communicate or react to anything that’s going on around him. It’s quite predictable, as her gift lets her know what her dad is feeling. It’s hard to rate this episode, because I…cried through the entire thing? The depression and dad’s health issues storylines moved me.

Why are you singing to me?
Child, I’m completely baked. I got nothing going on in my head now.
The song he sang only to you may have been his cry for help.
We live in a really mad world, but if you open up and express what you’re feeling to others then it’s gotta be better than what you’re doing now. Living you whole life in your head, like this prison my dad is in now, it’s torture.

6/10

The Simpsons 31.11

I have watched all 31 seasons, and it struggles to find new storylines and be funny at this point. In this episode, Marge’s ex-boyfriend emerges and builds a robot that looks exactly like her and then attempts to marry her.

Don’t you see why I hate this?
Because you hate everything?

1/10

Carol’s Second Act 1.11

I was really disappointed to learn there’s no episode this week. This episode wasn’t the show’s best though.

They don’t just care, they care intensively.

3/10

Grace and Frankie 6.01

Grace has secretly gotten married and is moving out.

If it helps, I’m giving you away now.

5/10

Grace and Frankie 6.02

Frankie’s smile when she saw Grace’s name come up on her phone. Frankie getting Grace off the toilet is ultimate friendship goals.

Give me a hug.
Hi Mom!
I don’t even let my kids call me that.
Tell me why we should keep this Happy Meal toy from 1988?
It’s a collector’s item.
What about these welding woman magazines from the 1970s? Do you weld?
Not as much.
Where would be a good place for it?
The floor? But I know that’s not right.
How many necklaces do you need?
Some of them are belts.
If you were a good teacher, you would know every child learns differently.

Grace and Frankie 6.03

Death row inmates are entitled to their last meal.

Grace and Frankie 6.04

Princess stuck on the can.
The bottoms up.
Designed to gently lift you with a single touch of a button.

5/10

Grace and Frankie 6.05

I told you I’m not gonna do a sex podcast with you.
I wouldn’t know, you won’t let me see you perform.

5/10

Grace and Frankie 6.06

The response from customers at Costco.
Where is the chicken in that place?
Shitter beat toilet.

5/10

When We Rise 1.03

Rachel Griffiths and Mary-Louise Parker star as grown up versions of the main characters. When Parenthood’s Sam Jaeger’s character dies, his family kicks his partner out of the house. The third main character looks after a baby, and when he wants to foster him, social workers find his HIV medication and take the baby away.

I am proud of my son and his friends.
The president and Mrs Clinton.
You sir can end this.
We’re lesbians.
We support students of all backgrounds.
When did we become such dykes.
We were always dykes.
His wife took him this morning.
We have to take this baby.

8/10

When We Rise 1.04

Did you travel abroad?
I traveled with a broad.
Take a lap around this ward.
We were in love. The kind of love that makes people cross the oceans, have babies and grow old together. And if we were straight, we would have designed our entire lives around that. But two women, then, we had no words for it, no paradime, nothing and you’re right. It’s my lack of vision that’s kept me from having this, a family. The truth is we’re not done yet.

6/10

When We Rise 1.05

This generation has grew up with Ellen and Will and Grace.

10/10

Modern Family 11.11

Finally a fantastic episode. This show is so much better without Phil and Claire’s kids. Phil’s dad dies and he never met his great grnd children.

All this childhood memorbilia.
But there’s no room for my baby teeth.
When all the dogs get back their income tax return.
I just came through the unsecure back door.
BJ – Blue Jeans.
I see light. Should I go towards it?
I was ready to bite my own arm off.
I still have the tooth you lost to a marshmallow.
Oh so that one you kept.
Your mother could have been a competitive eater. No foof ever expired in our house.
Guys I just saw a ghost.
Oh, girls, grab your things, we’re going.
11 year old Manny would feel disgusted by me.
Well now you know how 12 year old Lily feels.
A swooper.
A swooper? Lily grab your things. Not a smoke demon that terroroses farm children.
Back up, back up. Keep going.
Joe save up 6 months allowance and donated it all to charity. It’s one of those rare moments as a dad when you realise you really dropped the ball.
How you survived the golden age of bullying I will never understand.
I can get into this CSI train.
Locating my diary from ’83.
Everybody warned me this would happen.
Hi Cam.
You wish.
I never even saw Gloria go into the dressing room.
Maybe you should try the dress on that lady’s wearing.
You paid the speech specialist to shame it out of me.
Not the hot one.
Will you throw in a puppy?
It’s a miracle you didn’t need police escort to school every day.

10/10

Modern Family 11.12

And…. we’re back to mediocrity.

I came in here to die.
He’s making plans for the future.
That’s why you have rivals, it’s something to live for.
Hold on, let me write this down.

1.5/10

The Goldbergs 7.11

Murray learns he’s actually a year younger than he thought he was and celebrates his 50th birthday, once more. Surprisingly good, the show hasn’t had a good episode in a while, so this was a nice surprise.

10/10

The Goldbergs 7.12

And we’re back to it being bad again. I didn’t even write anything down about Schooled, because it’s not memorable at all.

Jodie Foster?

how to get away with murder, svu, tv show reviews, tv shows reviews

Fuller House has been renewed for season 2! After just 5 days! Are you guys just loving it?

Since I’m going on a holiday this Saturday, here’s part 1 of the remaining reviews.

Greys 17.11

The little Kepner wanting to have 3 children was adorable. Why on Earth didn’t she say she was pregnant? I honestly never could stand Avery, now it’s pure hate.

3/10

SVU 17.10

A case about a tacher sleeping with her students, meanwhile a wrestling coach sexualy assaults boys.

Danger of getting laid.
There are two predators in the same school.
Predators know who to pick on.
I woke up, because his mouth was on me.
It wasn’t your fault. It was nothing. It didn’t mean anything. You were drugged and your body reacted.
Whatever he may have made you do.
He’s the kid who got it from the wrestling coach.

9/10

SVU 17.11

One of the best episodes this season where Olivia goes to the house of a family her babysitter works for, and ends up being one of the hostages. The 16 year old daughter is raped, and Olivia once again cannot stop the rapist. The mother then calls and asks how are their kids and they answer they#’re okay but no one tells her her daughter has been raped. The girl’s brother was screaming Somebody help her, Make him stop’ which made it excrutiantly painful.

I just yelled ‘Stop police!’, but I’m not police.
All you have to do this go in there.

10/10

SVU 17.16

Liv and Tucker, seriously? Remember when he was always on hers and Elliot’s asses and basically hated them both? A vlogger gets raped and Rollins does something very stupid. Why would she risk being raped for one victim? They should have had one of her followers attack her, not some random pseudo celebrity. We all knew the new sergeant would run the place, just because of his daddy, and Liv would be left behind.

I’m a vlogger. My followers want to know anything that happens to me.
You didn’t deserve what happened to you.
Her exact words?
I don’t know her head was in my lap.
You used yourself as bait?
They tried to rape me.
Rollins in my office, please.
She lied to me. She said she didn’t post it.

5/10

Castle 8.10

A good Castle episode, that’s a shocker. I know I should contemplate every week, but there’s nothing to contemplate. But then Castle wanted to get thrown in jail and we remembered why we love it so much.

I went to high school with Nina. What high school?
I’m gonna get thrown in jail.
Joanna, how would you like to have a character in my next novel named after you?
How about a villain?

6/10

The Middle 7.15

What is going on with The Middle? This is definitely the weakest season.

Who’s that?
None of your business.
You would recognise it cause you never talk.

1.5/10

The Middle 7.16

Weakest episode of the season.

Free Wifi and a nice view.
Let me just stick my head out so I know what’s our new address.

3.5/10

Younger 2.8

I just love this show.

Millennial Print, you really are shameless.
#goodluck
What do creative directors do exactly?
Someone else’s coke mostly.
That girl is something special.
Assistants don’t have a lunch.
I’m not 26, I’m 40.
Now I’m interested.
Now I got another shot at my 20s.
According to New York Times you don’t exist.
Liza, are you crying?
I’m just so happy for you.

7/10

Scandal 5.11

I am loving this Liv/Mellie friendship. Carlos Solis joins the cast.

Because that Muppet is in love with you.
I left for the same reasons you stayed.
That’s what you write.You write that you were scared. That you couldn’t stand up to him. You didn’t need Fitz to give you the power. You had that power all along. It just took you a little longer to realize.
Get out your laptop, start typing.

7.5/10

Scandal 5.12

I loved how Cyrus staged for Carlos from Desperate Housewives to get shot, just so he can be the hero.

It’s easy , you just need to be in touch with your inner child.
Since you’re my only friend now, you can call me Fitz.

4.5/10

How to get Away with Murder 2.11

Ask miss Winterbottom. Clearly she’s the only one listening.
Don’t feel bad when i’m gonna end up shooting myself.
Wes went to the health centre to get some sleeping pills and they checked him into the psych ward.
You’re fired. My old Bonnie is back.
First year’s the hardest and I’m so behind.She needs therapy.
We all need therapy.
I killed Lila.

5/10

How to get Away with Murder 2.12

Oh, I hope Wes killed his mom.

Let mommy take care of it the way she always does.
Now what, mommy?
Now I have five of them and it’s the worst experience of my life.
When he applies to law school she helps him get in.
That one of you will be Wes Gibbins.
Is it true? Did Wes kill his mother?

7/10

Grandfathered 1.17

So do I just pay him in cash when he gets here?
This is Juliet.
Where’s Romeo?

7/10

Grandfathered 1.18

Is this really how they want to finish this and possibly the show’s only season? With them dating other people? It was the show’s worst episode. Also, too sex crazed, and not enough Granfdfather-ing.

With this Sarah this happened?

0.5/10

Pretty Little Liars 6.17

Now the new A has Emily’s fingerprints on the murder weapon.

That person may be storing my future offspring.
I’ll sleep when I’m unemployed.You get a chance to make people better than yourself.
You are the writer in the family.
We’re all different people now.
At least one of us will have a degree that matters.
You need to start talking before our baby does.
The protagonist is not Aria. We never meade it past Philly.
I think it’s fate. People who were meant to be together take a break and find a way back to their first love.
We graduated and we grew up.

The Simpsons 27.14

Awful.

Here are some quick October reviews. Look out for the remaining 15 episodes this Thursday.

Greys 12.04

Derek’s killer is Callie’s new girlfriend.

Who screws the interns?
The father of my children.
I’m a widow, I’m dead inside. I’m widow Grey, I’m all okay.
Yours is the face they will remember for the rest of their lives.
I’ve had that great amazing love.

9.5/10

Downton Abbey 7.04

Robert better not die. This is not Parenthood. Moseley and Baxter better end up together, and they better show us. Rose came back and acted weirdly. The writers need to understand that none of us cares about the hospital.

Trying to get through life the best that we can.
And you’re wrong about me, I mind what people say.
But he hasn’t ruined you, has he? And the proof is you’re standing here.

10/10

Castle 8.04

As I asked myself where the f do I recognise this guy from It got to me that it’s Gabby’s pervy stepfather from Desperate Housewives.

No, no. Well, yes, yes.
Pathological liars anonymous.
The blind priest just ran away.

6/10

How To Get Away With Murder 2.04

This season seems much less planned out.

Do you actually think that murdering someone is not a big deal?
I think about it a lot. Killing myself. Have been since I was a child.
If I don’t deserve to die, than you definitely don’t.
Let’s all find a cliff and go out in style.

4/10

How to Get Away with Murder 2.05

We finally got Bonnie’s back story and it was painful, and the show is finally getting more valuable again.

I found Wes and Nate last night?
Screwing?
That man is her father.

1.5/10

How to Get Away with Murder 2.06

I see what you’re saying, Asher is dating Bonnie who as a child was sexually abused by her father. Asher on the other hand gang raped a girl as a teenager. This is good. Who cares about all the other storylines this season, none of them are worth our time.

Contamination the crime scene. Let’s make a note of this officer not wearing gloves.
Tiffany was gang raped.

3.5/10

Grandfathered 1.03

Paget’s character reminds me of me a little more each week.

The age I lost my virginity. 13.
Thanks to you he’s one step away from being Norman Bates.
Mother in Parenthood.
Which Friends character are you?Come on, I’m Monica!
You delay, delay, delay and suddenly it’s too late.
What’s this, a cheesy rom com.

4.5/10

Grandfathered 1.04

Come on, Stamos you do know who Big Bird is, remember how obsessed Michelle was with him on Full House? Posting fake reviews and lying about leaving home on point. Other than that, weakest episode of the season.

Anonymous 2023.
Almost there. Traffic is awful.

2/10

The Good Wife 7.02

Jeffrey Dean Morgan joins the cast! An SVU case about mom taking naked pictures of their kids and selling them as art.

Have you seen the movie It Follows?
That’s when I got my first email from a pedophile.
After I came back from school, these men would wait for me.

8/10

The Good Wife 7.03

Grace working as Alicia’s assistant/secretary is my new favorite thing about the show. Interns caring about their boyfriends was hilarious too. Don’t go to law school if you want a normal life, simple as that.

Do these new summer interns seem less concerned to you? They worry about their boyfriends and having easier work days.

10/10

Scandal 5.03

How can Fitz still treat Mellie like crap?

Shut it down or get fired, people.
We’re running, people.

10/10

Scandal 5.04

Quinn has recruited a new gladiator.

Gladiators don’t ask questions.

2/10

The Leftovers 2.02

What is it with this season? Pure boredom. Miss Patty and where the heck is Amy Brenneman? So Kevin is a part of rapture number 2?

1.5/10

Switched at Birth 4.18

Were we supposed to be surprised that Daphne’s tutor was gay? Wasn’t that obvious? A very weak episode.

2.5/10

Faking It 2.19

Karma is just jealous that Amy does not pay attention to her anymore that she may actually try to be with her for a while, ruining Amy’s feelings.

The real you is so fantastic.

2.5/10

Castle 04.13 Shameless 2.03 Desperate Housewives 8.11 Pretty Little Liars 2.17 Skins 6.01

Shameless 2.03

Fiona’s story was very good, her image of the perfect high school boyfriend was all ruined. I did not see that bitch coming on Fiona like that, they probably have a similar situation, older sister taking care of her siblings, at least Gallaghers have money now. Karen and that 37 years old dude getting married, just ridiculous. Frank genius as always, but for the first time watching this show I was disguised by his character, when he answered that pager and then called and said ‘She doesn’t need that heart anymore.’ How she paid him 2 000 $ and a flat screen so he fuck her to death, that was good. I was nicely surprised when he felt sad after seeing death’s face. Frank’s talk how people shouldn’t interfere with god’s plan, that was excellent. Last scene, of Frank stealing money from church, that was so obvious. Debbie and her death phase was good, don’t know why they had to end it.

7/10

Castle 4.13

The incredible interaction between Kate and Castle in the hand scene. When he was showing her how she should rub the dog, was touching her, when she is so in love with him, her face said everything. I am so intrigued by this scene. The rest of the episode was not good enough for season 4, which is in total a masterpiece. Too much Esposito and this reality TV star not enough investigating and Castle and Beckett. I knew the dog would not choose them, this scene was nice though. The running away from dogs scene was amazing, Esposito’s ‘Run’ and Kate’s  ‘Aaaaaa’. Hilarious.

6/10

Desperate Housewives 8.11

Gaby’s story, the scene when she tells that woman ‘At least you believed her, my mother never did.’ That was just well written. Also the previous ‘Then believe me.’ Bree is definitely my favorite character this season, when he walked through church, after she confirm she is a neighborhood slut, genius. I love how this show can handle alcoholism, the card very nicely played. Australian guy should be back on V, where he belongs. Renee is less annoying these days, maybe after her speech last episode I look at her differently. I am not saying that Lynette and Tom shouldn’t break up (they shouldn’t though) but this is not the storyline for the final season. It is hard to watch these two, and we all should fully enjoy this last season. Not well thought, Mark Cherry, not well thought.

5/10

Pretty Little Liars 2.17

Finally a not so bad episode, the previous one was so cheesy. Ezria all the way, I am glad they are staying together, but when the hell are they going to sleep together? This is ridiculous, in real life he wouldn’t wait for her. You should have told Caleb everything, I have a feeling he could protect you. Alli was harassed by A too? That is interesting. Spencer is acting all stupid again, and Emily is such a useless character.

3/10

Skins 6.01

This generation is super annoying and just disastrous, but what happened in the last 10 min of the episode was genius. This is the old Skins back! The most annoying character ever falling into coma, well played. I don’t like Minnie and Al together, when she got up I thought they were going to play the ‘Cassie waking up to drink water’ card, which could have been marvelous, but no, she woke up to take a shower and get into Al’s pants. They could have played the ED card so well here, and now I don’t like any of the characters. First season of a new generation is usually better as we get to know all the brand new characters and the second is all about partying, but this coma storyline may change it.

5/10

Castle 4.12 Revenge 1.11 The Secret Circle 1.11 Greys 8.12 Private Practice 5.12 Shameless 2.02 Desperate Housewives 8.10 Suburgatory 1.11 Pretty Little Liars 2.16

Castle 4.12

Tense episode, just excellent. You’re a writer, finish this sentence. Many good lines, of Castle wanting to protect Beckett. ‘Trust me when I say, it’s not your concern.’ ‘It is if it involves Beckett or her mother’s murder.’If Weldon had been run out of office…’ ‘…I’d be gone from the 12th precinct.’ ‘And then who’d keep Beckett from looking into things she shouldn’t? Who’d keep her out of harm’s way?’ ‘What am I supposed to do, Rick?’ when she calls him Rick. it’s even better than when he calls her Kate. ‘I can’t just stop being a cop, because it’s inconvenient.’ ‘When he’s gone, the first thing she’ll do is get rid of Castle.’ ‘I know.’

10/10

Revenge 1.11

An excellent Revenge episode. ‘How much collateral damage are you willing to accept? I may have Jack’s blood all over my jacket, but you’ve got it all over your hands.’ ‘The Graysons framed my father. They were responsible for that plane going down. They set him up to take the fall. While I was rotting away in juvie with you and my father was rotting away in federal prison, the Graysons were sitting in that house, living their lives spending their money, raising their kids, like nothing ever happened. So that’s why I’m here. I came back to avenge my father’s death. And to take everything away from them.’

10/10

The Secret Circle 1.11

Best episode of the entire series. This is one of the three shows, along with Suburgatory and Pretty Little Liars that I watch just in the background while doing something else, but today I was so in the story. Why do I think Adam’s father is Cassie’s father? Grave digging and dog’s skeleton, so good.

10/10

Greys 8.12

What the hell is Shonda doing to my favorite guy character of the show right now? Owen screaming ‘You killed our baby!’ in front of everyone, best scene this year so far.Owen’s ‘You’re drowning, Grey.’ and Mer’s ‘Drowning is a strong word.’ he may not know, but hell, she almost drowned in season three. Adele’s story was very good, Kepner acting all stupid. Everyone telling Mer she should continue her mother’s path, that was a good storyline, but chief’s speech was marvellous. ‘Meredith, look at everything you did today, this party for your daughter, what you did for me in that OR. You don’t have to ever worry about being anything like your mother. I knew her, and you’re nothing like your mother. You have a gift. Don’t waste it.’ I loved Sandra’s acting this episode and this line ‘You let me operate on her husband, and now he’s dead. She gets whatever she wants. Do you understand? Anything she wants from me, ever.’

9/10

Private Practice 5.12

Stop beating Violet up. She’s been through enough and she always ends up a victim anyway. loved the storyline and the new boyfriend of hers. Of course she believed that woman, who wouldn’t have? But how she bit Violet up, and the paramedic kid told her ‘I’m here for you, whatever it is.’ that was so good, and how she did not want Pete’s help and went to see the paramedic kid. Amelia is annoying again, but I loved how she told Erica not to do the surgery. Addie is done and drinking with Jake, I love that.

9/10

Shameless 2.02

They could get over the Liam masturbating all the time storyline, he’s just a kid. Veronica’s ‘If God loved me he would have made me white and rich.’ Grandpa died. Deb at the hospital. ‘Eat shit, Frank.’ ‘Well, I would, but I recently went vegan.’ this line. shameless at its best.

9/10

Desperate Housewives 8.10

Renees storyline and Bree’s ‘U’ll always b d person who saved my life. N now that I’ve had time to think about it, I realize that makes u d best friend I’ll ever have.’ Susan being the stupidest person on TV. Alejandro raped his other step daughter too, that was a good plot. Lynette screaming at kids, that now she has to do it all on her own, a very good speech. Bree sleeping around and drinking, ridiculous and good.

9/10

Suburgatory 1.11

Where did Lisa got all these condoms from? I thought she was the perfect kid till her ‘running around the neighborhood naked’ incident. George now thinks Tessa lied about what she was doing with her boyfriend.

6/10

Pretty Little Liars 2.16

Oh so ridiculous, Lucas’s storyline was so bad, no idea why they wrote it into the script. Ezra acting all I don’t know you kid is super annoying, but real at least.

4/10

Private Practice 5.06 Greys 5.08 Bones 7.01 Desperate Housewives 8.06. American Horror Story 1.05 The Slap 1.05. Revenge 1.07. The Secret Circle 1.08. Suburgatory 1.06

Greys 5.08

All the George mourning, Bailey’s ‘George was my favorite’ n his mom is Callie’s mom now, and our 3 talking about him, couldn’t stop crying.

Private Practice 5.06

Brilliant. Jessica Tuck was on Private Practice! Why did Coop say Sheldon, why not Violet, I needed a Judging Amy flashback! Char’s story was goood!

9/10

The Slap 1.05

Melissa George was absolutely amazing. Rosie’s story was very moving, though I think she should really stop breastfeeding plus I hate Gary. Plus I was a little bit dissapointed with Rosie’s plot, but still.

9/10

Bones 7.01

This season is gonna be hella differnt than previous 6, I did not like the first episode of season 7 as much as I thought I would.

8/10

Desperate Housewives 8.06

Weird. Desperate Housewives like. Loved it. I knew what kind of cat It’s going to be before them, that was pretty obvious, right?

‘I’m asking you, please, back off, okay? We have five kids, one of them is just a baby, I’m not letting my husband go without a fight.’

8/10

American Horror Story 1.05

Better than part 1.

8/10

Revenge 1.07

Good. All of it.

8/10

The Secret Circle 1.08

Pretty good.

8/10

Suburgatory 1.06

Hilarious and pretty good.

Private Practice 5.05

Genius episode, that’s it. Just genius.

‘Are you crazy?! Are you actually clinically insane?! Did you really do this thing? Because even I didn’t think you were stupid enough n crazy enough to actually go through with it. What is wrong with you?! Why are you this self destructive?!’

‘So we’re both screwed up, but maybe we can be there for each other. Like some kinda messed up body system.’

‘I won’t drink today, if you don’t kill yourself.’

10/10

The Slap 1.04

Just brilliant, I assumed Connie’s story would be just another teen romance, was nicely surprised.

9/10

American Horror Story 1.04

good not superb.

8/10

Pretty Little liars Halloween

Did not bring anything to the story but I absolutely loved the fat Hanna, wild Aria and nerdy Spencer. This is what this show should be about, not the perfect teens.

8/10

The Secret Circle 1.07

Very good. Point plus for Halloween decorations!

8/10

Revenge 1.06

Almost as good as the previous one.

7/10

Greys 5.07

Funny, medium good.

7/10

Desperate Housewives 8.05

The only scene I loved: ‘It’s okay, Gaby, we got it.’ ‘I don’t know what to say.’ ‘Just take care of your husband.’ heartbreaking scene.

6/10

Suburgatory 1.05

That was just bad.

5/10

Private Practice 5.04 Greys 5.06 Desperate Housewives 8.04. American Horror Story 1.03 The Slap 1.03. Revenge 1.05. The Secret Circle 1.06. Suburgatory 1.04

Private Practice 5.04

This season is absolutely amazing. Cried through the entire ep! Why does Pete hate Violet so much? Why did Char write this check? And Cooper, you’re gonna be an amazing dad!

9/10

American horror story 1.03

‘Now you’re stuck here forever.’ american horror story is just excellent.

9/10

Revenge 1.05

Very good episode! All the Lydia thing.

8/10

Greys Anatomy 5.06

This week’s episode was pretty boring.

6/10

Desperate Housewives 8.04

Starting to be a bad season 7.

6/10

The Secret Circle 1.06

The Diana/Cassie drama is pretty good. But the whole Jake story just doesn’t seem like worth watching.

6/10

Slap 1.03

Boring episode, the character not interesting at all.

5/10

Suburgatory 1.04

Dolls drama. That was actually pretty bad.

Welcome to ReviewThisFilm

This website started as weekly reviews on movies and tv episodes, and a diary of the 700 new films I watched every year. Today it’s a place for me to write a few words on films and tv shows that leave some sort of impact on me. I no longer write in depth reviews, partially thanks to bad habits gained by spending many hours a day on Letterboxd, and partially because of my demanding day job.

If you have a film you would like me to watch and review,  please leave a comment.

Enjoy!

At the pictures 10 times a month. I rate films within genre. I watch all interesting titles about to expire on Netflix and HBO Go. I’m nostalgic and reminisce a lot. Over the years I’ve seen 140 TV Shows.

About me

I am the dark and twisty Meredith Grey, the mad Dexter Morgan, hoping to grow up to be a little more like the wise, but fun Nora Walker. I am an aspiring filmmaker. My favorite actresses are Jodie Foster, Sally Field and Julianne Moore. Favorite genre – psychological drama. I watch anything with a sexual or mental abuse plot. I used to be a horror freak. I am obsessed with Grey’s Anatomy, SVU and many more. My other interests include making oil and pencil portraits and wildlife conservation. I cannot say no to beautiful landscapes, travel, Aussie accent, TV/film quotes and avocados. I have recently moved back from Australia to the UK. I’ve been running this blog for the last 9 years. Here I comment on films and episodes I watch. Enjoy! – Joanne

favourite film and tv quotes

‘When I lived in Porpoise Spit, I used to sit in my room for hours and listen to ABBA songs. But since I’ve met you and moved to Sydney, I haven’t listened to one Abba song. That’s because my life is as good as an Abba song. It’s as good as Dancing Queen.’ (Muriel’s Wedding)

‘I used to think about
your life in New York. I tried to imagine your room. I kept track of the time difference, so I  knew when you were awake and when you were asleep.’ (Disobedience)

‘Nothing’s clean, Howard. But we do our best, right?’ (The Aviator)

‘No, I’m not quitting. I don’t quit things.’
‘No, actually you do. Your mother quit your father. Your father quit you. You quit your boyfriend and if I read your hospital chart correctly you quit your life momentarily on a couple of occasions. You quit. It’s what you know how to do.’ (Greys)

‘Where the hell was I that year?’
‘Your were watching television’. (Everybody Loves Raymond)

‘It’s impossible to worry about anything else when there’s blood coming out of you.’
(Short Term 12)

‘I wanted it to happen. And when we were girls… Even then, it was the same. It’s always been this way! I have always wanted it.’ (Disobedience)

‘Sometimes it’s easy, sometimes you play games in your head. You make up someone, someone good.’ (Greys)

‘There comes a moment when our lives change forever. The moment we admit our weaknesses, the moment we rise to a challenge, the moment we accept a sacrifice, or let a loved one go. And sometimes the change in our lives is an answer to our prayers.’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘Yesterday I went to the movies all day by myself. One after the other. I’ve never done that before. I had a really happy day.’ (Doing Time for Patsy Cline)

‘I just need something to happen. I need a sign that things are going to change. I need a reason to go on. I need some hope. And in the absence of hope, I need to stay in bed a feel like I might die today.’ (Greys)

‘She saved me my whole life. Without her, I’m nothing.’ (The Favourite)

‘Don’t wonder why people go crazy. Wonder why they don’t. In face of what we can lose in a day, in an instant, wonder what the hell it is that make us hold it together.’  (Greys)

‘Bree sobbed quietly in the restroom for five miutes, but her husband never knew, because when Bree finally emerged, she was perfect.’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘I am not food, you cannot just eat and eat.’ (The Favourite)

‘I don’t love him.’
‘Of course you do.’
‘No!’
‘Don’t take me for a fool Olive,  I’m many things but I’m not a fool.’
‘I know that, you’re brilliant.’
‘Don’t you see, it’s over. Whatever this is, was, it’s over.’
‘I love You.’ (Professor Marston and the Wonder Women)

‘At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing, is reason enough to celebrate.’ (Greys)

‘Many years ago, a neighbour and a good friend of ours took her life, and that left us all heartbroken and perplexed. But somehow, when I was alone in that hotel room, I forget about all the pain that she caused. In those awful moments, I thought maybe she had the answer.‘ (Desperate Housewives)

‘What happened last year when you fell in the water?’
‘I almost drowned. Do you think I did that for kicks?’
‘You put your hand in a body cavity that contained unexploded ammunition.’
‘I was trying to save a patient!’
‘Why is it that every other person in that room had the sense to hit the deck? You know people run away from this line between life and death. You seem to stand on it and wait for a strong wind to sway you one way or the other. You’re careless with your life. You’re not slitting your wrists but you’re careless. Probably because your mother told you you were a waste of space on this planet. The problem is you believed her. And if you don’t want out one of these days you’re going to die because of it.’  (Greys)

‘This is the street where I used to live and these were the people with whom I shared my life. I met them the day they moved in. And I saw what they brought with them. Beautiful dreams for the future. And quiet hopes for a better life. Not just for themselves, but for their children, too. If I could, would I tell them what lies ahead? Would I warn them of the sorrow and betrayal that lie in store? No. From where I stand now, I see enough of the road to understand how it must be traveled. The trick is to keep moving forward, to let go of the fear and the regret that slow us down and keep us from enjoying a journey that will be over too soon. Yes, there will be unexpected bends in the road, shocking surprises we didn’t see coming, but that’s really the point. Don’t you think?’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘Was your life not working when you let that slip out from under you?’
‘When are you going to stop suggesting that I’m suicidal?’
‘When you start acting like someone that wants to be alive.’
‘Give me my chart.’
‘Why?’
‘Because I’m not suicidal, and if it says that I am, then it’s wrong.’ (Greys)

‘There is nothing wrong with me.’
‘Then show me your arm.’ (Degrassi)

‘Look, my whole life, I have been the freak. The girl who nobody picked for dodgeball. The girl who didn’t have a mom. The girl who dressed funny because it was her dad buying her clothes. And then, tonight I looked at these people, and I thought maybe there’s a future where I don’t have to be a freak. Maybe I can be who I am and that’s okay.’ (Everything Sucks)

‘Dr, I have been this way since…since I can remember. There is no cure.’ (American Horror Story)

‘He was so crazy about me, I couldn’t breathe. So we tried drinking our way back into love, but it never made sense in the morning. So I ran. And every time I came back, he was here. And he was still crazy about me.’ (My Blueberry Nights)

‘Bree van de Kamp had always wanted to live her life with elegance and grace. That is also how she wanted to die. Her plan was to pour herself a glass of her favorite chardonnay, put on her most stylish nightgown and leave behind a note on embossed stationery.’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘All we have is this moment. The future is just a fucking concept that we use to avoid being alive today. So be… here…. now.’ (Six Feet Under)

‘On the train coming here, we were in the same cart, I saw you, you were reading and you feel asleep. I didn’t dare to look at you, you were so beautiful, it was scary. Afterwards,  I couldn’t stop thinking about you. It made me smile. Then I thought of all the men who would get to hold you, who’d make you laugh. How lucky they were.’ (Enemy at the Gates)

‘It was a good day. Maybe even a great day. Even when it was hard, I was the me in my head. There was a moment when I thought I cant do this, I cant do this alone. I close my eyes and imagine myself doing it, and I did, I blocked out the fear, and I did it.’ (Greys)

‘There comes a time when we must expose our weaknesses. When our secrets can no longer remain private, when our solitude can no longer be denied, when our pain can no longer be ignored, but sometimes we feel so alone that a weakness we thought we’d overcome suddenly becomes too strong to fight.’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘Why did you get married, Esti? Why didn’t you just leave? So everything was all right when I left?’
‘No. I was ill.’
‘What sort of ill?’
‘In my head.’
‘If I had to sleep with a man, why not with our best friend?’
‘Oh, Esti…’
‘It hasn’t been a complete disaster.’
‘And that’s enough?! Do you have to have sex every Friday?’
‘It’s expected.’
‘It’s medieval. What happened to you?’
‘Nothing. You happened to me. And then I started teaching and that became important. I give them ambition.’
‘To do what? Push out seven babies and be a good wife?’
‘Don’t. Don’t. I help them to value themselves.’
‘Okay, but what about you?’
‘That is me. And you? Are you happy?’
‘Yes, I am.’
‘Have you been with other women?’
‘No. Not really. And you?’
‘No.’
‘But, Esti… Do you still
only fancy women?’ (Disobedience)

‘OK, then, listen. Let’s not get caught.’
‘What are you talkin’ about?’
‘Let’s keep goin’!’
‘What d’you mean?’
‘Go.’
‘You sure?’
‘Yeah. Yeah.’ (Thelma & Louise)

‘She let me live at Nora’s house. She let me believe that I was a part of their family. I fell in love with that family. What am I supposed to do, just sit there, pretend I’m related to them? I was happy. For the first time in my life I was happy.’ (Brothers and Sisters)

‘You will be left all alone with your bitterness and your rage and your knowledge that you loved her and she loved you and you threw it away for them.’
‘Do you love her?’
‘Yes.’
‘And Have you always?’
‘Yes.’
‘So then ask her.’
‘Olive, will you forgive me?’ (Professor Marston and the Wonder Women)

‘No razors, no scissors, no fucking freedom.’
(Short Term 12)

‘You can’t take a picture of this. It’s already gone.’ (Six Feet Under)
